It used to be the "We are but poor farmers toiling to feed the children and buy shoes for their feet", bit. That flew thirty years ago, but the growth on the Eastside, the Northeast, and the Westside has been enormous. Those of you who may not be here in El Paso would be jaw-droppingly stunned to see the growth, and the homes aren?t cheap. Again, the money is already there and available. Maybe the sale of Western Playland will shake them out of their slumber. Not holding my breath.
I would ask Wilson, if she knows the football program is the front porch, and the front porch is one of the worst in the country, why would you have some handy-made working on it for years instead of hiring the best around to get it done, especially if the money is there-if it would pay for itself!? Why? If the status quo is horrible, why are you satisfied with the status quo? It seems to me to be a decision made purposefully. In the past ten years, could you have done more to kill the program support if you were trying? I mean the laws of random odds or something must be being violated when it comes to picking winners. Take Price out of the list and ask yourself how many Head Coaches of football have the Miners had and how many were winners? It is like we pick the black marble from the hat every damned time time. Only we are allowed to look in the hat and pick the one we want AND they are still the black ones! I mean how is it that we don't have average coaches with average wins and losses, and sometimes a pretty good one. Not once in a lifetime, either. Over time, with a ten to twelve game schedule, your average team should win an average of five to six games playing other average teams. Without even talking about level of tams being average or not, our average is more in the two to four win range. So, we would be better putting names in a hat and closing our eyes to pick head coaches than look the way we do. So, if we are going to look, let's look at the best and pick one from that group.
